I too found the timing a bit surprising, although the Holy See is a pretty low profile appointment (Joyce Napier is a fairly big name though). In the past, successor governments have not rushed to replace political appointee heads of mission, I don't think. Although as OinC appointees, they serve at pleasure and can, in theory, be replaced at any time.
