Ran into this today and it took a little while to figure out because ethereumjs-tx was failing silently in this case. I'll see if there are other fields that have the same issue.

Hi @jwasinger,

A possible fix local to this library was developed in #144, but after discussing it, we decided to fix this in ethereumjs-util. This alternative fix has already been merged but hasn't been released yet. You can take a look at it here: https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-util/pull/197

I'm closing this issue. If someone encounters this problem after version 2 is released please open a new issue.
