I am not ANAL, but it can be considered not as a law question, but as a simple mathematical problem. Every licence has 3 sets of statements: permissions, restrictions, and warranties. A license A is compatible for license B (i.e. code developed under license A can be included in the distribution licensed under licence B), if the set of restrictions of A is a subset of the set of restrictions of B, the set of permissions of B is a subset of the set of permissions of A, and the set of warranties of B is a subset of the set of warranties of A. While the Microsoft Permissive License permissions and warranties include all the GPL permissions and warranties, it has restrictions that are not present in GPL that makes it not GPL-compatible.
