In general, non-microwave-safe cookware is non-microwave-safe not because of any toxic compounds or fumes the cookware may emit during cooking, but because the material used to make the pot cannot withstand the high temperatures caused by the microwaves. If you've ever microwaved an antique dish or plate, for example, you know it can get really hot. Over time, this weakens many pieces, and the piece (bowl, cup, plate, whatever) will crack sooner than if you'd not used it in the microwave. Plus, it'll burn you when you take it out of the microwave.

In addition, dishware with metallic trim (gold or platinum) can emit sparks in the trim area, which is not good for both the plate and the microwave oven itself.
