The cross-platform Party Chat is limited by the codec used for audio. The codec for the Xbox One utilizes a greater amount of bandwidth for better audio fidelity than the Xbox 360 is capable of providing. They would have to, on the fly, down-convert the audio sent from an Xbox One to the Xbox 360.
It probably isn't impossible to do, but I'm guessing right now they're more interested in getting Xbox One features ready rather than complete cross capatibility.
