The connection from device to skype is just not as good.

Here is a macrumors forum thread on it, if you are interested in the iphone user perspective on the new multitasking enabled skype for ios4

Some of the point mentioned(some are prolly baloney):

Battery consumption is increased
skype won't reconnect when moving between connection types
no notification skype disconnected
playing any other audio disables skype calls
phone get s hot with skype in background
signal level decreases when skype is multitasked
it will not wake up the phone
etc
etc
etc
