Wind forcing on non-lat-lon grids

This might be a bit more of a SIS2 question, since the way I understand it SIS2 handles the coupling to the atmosphere, but I am trying my luck here anyway.
I am running MOM6, forced by wind from NWP models, at high resolutions. Most NWP models output their data on non-lat-lon grids like Lambert grids or rotated lat-lon grids (HRRR and RAP being two examples). However, I am getting "malloc(): corrupted top size" and then a long traceback when I try this.
The relevant portion of my data_table file is

"ATM", "u_bot", "wind_u", "./INPUT/wind_input.nc", "bicubic", 1.0
"ATM", "v_bot", "wind_v", "./INPUT/wind_input.nc", "bicubic", 1.0

It runs perfectly fine with wind data on a lat-lon grid like GFS.
I would like to ask: is MOM6/SIS2 able to handle wind forcing on different grids?
