"How does the oil and sludge get in there?"
The governor is "splash oiled" by oil carried up by the timing gears.
Water vapor from combustion byproducts that sneak past the rings like to "hang out" in the governor (I suppose it's one of the cooler-running parts of the engine and it condenses there) and makes the sludgy mess you see.

When assembling, I'd use a little wheel being grease on the ball bearing and drizzle a little engine oil over the parts in the governor just before bolting it back in place.
