Thanks for the PM (2 additional pilots emailed me with this exact question in the last couple of days, now I know why)!
We (ATC) must protect the ILS Critical area when the weather is less than 800/2. Now in the case of your specific question about using B-V at ATL after landing Rwy 8L, that critical area you are seeing depiected along B is for the glideslope for 8R, so its not an issue (so long as we're not landing the inboard) for you to continue without worry on the B-V routing.
Having said that, if a controller neglects to hold you short of a critical area to a runway that you know is in use with arrivals, and the weather is less than 800/2, it would be prudent for you guys and gals (as pilots) to ask the question before encroaching the area. The guy out there on the final just might be one of your buddies and dirsuption of the signal in IMC would require they execute a missed apporach. It other words, controllers are only human. We do make mistakes. This is supposed to be a team endeavor, so any help you can provide is apprecaited (might not always sound like it - but it is)!
Hope that answers your question!
