If both

a) BSDL requires that that its license text be included verbatim, and
that even a license text containing similar terms would be an
insufficient substitute,

and

b) including the BSDL text along with the MS-PL text would cause the
license (terms) the work is licensed under to differ from the MS-PL,

is true, then the MS-PL would seem to be incompatible with the BSDL. My
guess would be that a) is true, but I doubt b).
