I don't believe they ever intended for the Governor to be a regular character, he was just a means to an end. I think you may be over thinking the timeline and what they had planned for the Governor from the start.
Correct me if I am wrong but they would have been done shooting the Governor episodes and he would have already been dead long before he signed onto another show in August.

I was going to post other links to refute your point about the "series regular" but it appears all of the other links rely on the Hollywood Reporter as a source, so perhaps you are correct.
And with respect to your point in the third paragraph, according to this, filming for the entire fourth season wrapped on November 22:

Although, who knows how much of the plot they map out in advance when they are breaking episodes. They could have known early in the process the Governor was going to die mid-season or they could have changed things up later on.
