Not acceptable, no. In the 2006 IRC it's M1602.2 Prohibited Sources.
No returns allowed in bathrooms.

Re: Return air in bathroom
I'm curious...is there reasoning behind that other than the obvious...room too small, frequently closed, moisture, proximity to exhaust fan/duct, introduction of flatulence into the public rooms.... ?

Hairspray and other aerosols can damage the heat exchanger in the furnace is what I was taught.
