It’s shocking to me that a state is sued over a law, and high officials of that state made a conscious decision not to defend the state in a court of law.

Shocking but not surprising. See California Proposition 187 at Wikipedia

Here's the thing, I'm ok with Brown and the Governator choosing not to appeal the Prop 8 ruling. They're humans in positions of leadership and using their own perspectives to make judgments. I'd want the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot and the will of the people was FOR gay marriage. I'd want them to use their intelligence and lead!
