eth_estimateGas results in an error when omitting the from-field

[most08]

Describe the bug
When calling eth_estimateGas without the from-field (sender-address) an error is occuring:

Error when handling ID 1, eth_estimateGas({ "to": "0x53d8cd462fa22e843ff0c4425f5cf2f4f00273ae", "value": "0x16345785d8a0000" }) | {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32000,"message":"insufficient funds for transfer: address 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffe"},"id":1}

To Reproduce
Call eth_estimateGas:

curl --data '{"method":"eth_estimateGas","params":[{"to": "0x53d8cd462fa22e843ff0c4425f5cf2f4f00273ae", "value": "0x16345785d8a0000"}],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST 172.17.0.1:8546

Expected behavior
Return the amount of gas.

Thanks for reporting @most08 , we will look at this now.

We might have fix already but needs more testing: #3824

Any updates ? I have the same issue when I using blockscout indexing:
