If not, I agree it's bizarre (unless the party told him to leave now, so he's not an issue for the election this fall, which it could be if he's still around)

Yes. The governor gets to appoint a replacement. I'm still not sure why he did this a month after the primary unless Tom Campbell was just plain unpalatable to the Republican party.
I suspect that Steve Stockman, a true looney Republican that decided to run in District 22 as an independent because he can't stand Nick Lampson, the Dem who's running there, is also Unacceptable to the Gop.
