I really wonder where those differences come from. It's the same developers and practically the same hardware. There must be something on the X1 that hinders partial installs. Or something on the PS4 that facilitates it.
If it's only a software issue MS should be able to patch it.

PS4 has a secondary ARM processor to assist with background installations and other OS features.

As I understand X1 has separate ressources as well to facilitate multitasking. It's running multiple OS at the same time, so it will have virtualized ressources reserved for that. Background installing is not really a ressource hungry process.
Pretty sure it must be something in the software architecture.
