After investigating this, I've found that the S3 method sigma() was only released in the stats package with R version 3.3.0. From the release notes:

• New S3 generic function sigma() with methods for extracting the estimated standard deviation aka “residual standard deviation” from a fitted model.

Prior to R v3.3.0, sigma() was an S3 method in lme4.
