OK, I didn't notice and I can see the irony but not sure it matters to the point, but OK.
100% agree. The issue with the lens is IMHO a Sigma problem, but having the camera lock up for ANY reason is a Pentax problem. Failing gracefully is the desired result. The camera should either display an error message or act as if there is no lens attached, it should not lock up.
Hopefully Sigma will address their issue and Pentax will address their issue and we can move on to enjoying this wonderful camera.

Yes it does. The lens doesn't. Call Sigma and insist they fix their problem.
This is not a Pentax problem, it is not their responsibility to test and be compatible with other manufacturer's products. It is Sigma's job to test their products with the camera they are supposed to be compatible with. If Pentax made a lens to fit on a Sigma camera the situation would be reversed.
Sorry you have a problem with your third party lens, you should contact Sigma and let them know they have problem.

Sorry, disagree 100%. This is Sigma problem, not Pentax. Most Sigma lenses work fine, only this one does not, that tells me Sigma did something different or bent the rules on this one. And the same lens had problems on k-5 and k-3 until Sigma did a firmware update. So again, Sigma problem.
That's why I don't buy third party lenses. It is the third party's responsibility to make their gear work with the first party, not the other way around.
