I hope this gets adressed, as people have started uploading the wad, it would be good if a working version was uploaded officially by the devs.

Anyone have any idea what the problem even is? Does this new (proprietary, according to Doom Wiki) engine even support any IWADs outside of its specific range of products—which is to say, is it even within the scope of the FOSS IWAD projects to even bother trying to interact with?

That same engine used in Doom + Doom II works ok with FreeDoom, so I think it's not a matter of it being excluded on purpose. A dev from ND said on Reddit, that level creation guides are going to be published after they return from QuakeCon, so that can shed some light on any compatibility differences.

Personally I believe, the existance of FLOSS projects like this, in the main game mod repository, can be a great benefit in a way that this puts the project in front of much more people than the FLOSS community, possibly attracting contributors.
