You don't need to use the \rm command in this case:
You can press M-c r for roman text (while in mathed) and M-c space to return
to italics.

An even better thing to do, is to put
  \DeclareMathOperator{\sign}{sign}
in the preamble (and enable ams-math in the document dialog),
and then use \sign in mathed.
