Steve,
I have discussed your question with our resident expert on Fc receptors 
and his conclusion:
"Murine FcR bind human IgG's.  There are some subclass preferences but 
not to the extent of presence / absence of binding."
I tried to find a literature citation where this was experimentally 
validated but was unsuccessful.
Pete
