Interestingly,
sage: integrate(abs(sin(x)),x)
-(2*arctan(sin(x)/(cos(x) + 1))*sin(x)/(cos(x) + 1) - log(2))*sgn(1/(cos(x) + 1))*sgn(sin(x)) - log(2*sin(x)^2/(cos(x) + 1)^2 + 2)*sgn(1/(cos(x) + 1))*sgn(sin(x)) + log(sin(x)^2/(cos(x) + 1)^2 + 1)*sgn(1/(cos(x) + 1))*sgn(sin(x)) + 2*(sin(x)/((sin(x)^2/(cos(x) + 1)^2 + 1)*(cos(x) + 1)) + arctan(sin(x)/(cos(x) + 1)))*abs(sin(x))/abs(cos(x) + 1)
Not that this is all that useful, because if we call this f then f(pi) has division by zero error, and based on comments elsewhere it is probably wrong in any case. I have to admit I am surprised this isn't doable, though. See this ticket 17511 but there are lots of places this question has recurred.
