Okay, I'm having trouble finding the root regulation forbidding their use in IMC (but it figures, right? NVG's are for looking outside, right? Sure we can look under them but why not use your whole visual field on the instruments? But here is the first reference I found:
https://fsims.faa.gov/WDocs/8900.1/V...04_CHG_22A.htm
And in Paragraph C: "NVGs are used as an aid to night flight during visual meteorological conditions (VMC), and operators are not to use NVGs during inadvertent instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)."
Too busy to stay around long, sorry!
