FAA Instrument rating privileges

Does anyone know where to find information on what you can and cannot do with an FAA instrument rating in the UK?

I thought that if you had an FAA licence with an instrument endorsement you would be restricted to flying a helicopter on the American register. However, I had a conversation the other day and it seems that because the FAA licence is an ICAO licence and that the JAA recognise ICAO licences you can fly a G reg heli IFR but not in Class A airspace. Sounds fishy to me. Any comments?
