Its probably fine. From my memory, in Susanna Lyle's book on Fruit trees its mentioned that root pruning will even benefit fig trees.
I guess it depends on the amount of roots you will have to cut (maybe provide picture).
To be safe you could wait with the transfer until winter.
Personally I would take the risk.
