Well, that certainly kills off some entertaining speculation.
The kindest thing I can say about Sigma's press release is that it was
careless. Somebody in Sigma PR needs their arse kicked from here to
Poughkeepsie. They unambiguously touted the virtues of the OS when
announcing this lens for Pentax and Nikon, despite their own
compatibility chart showing that the lens lacks its raison d'etre in
these mounts.
