Should getBlockByNumber error on missing required fields?

[fgribben]

Right now if I use the Arbitrum geth client to fetch a block, for certain blocks, I get this error:

missing required field 'EffectiveGasPrice' in transaction

The error seems to be coming from this line: https://github.com/OffchainLabs/go-ethereum/blob/master/core/types/transaction_marshalling.go#L408

I think this behaviour is a little surprising; why isn't EffectiveGasPrice allowed to be nil? Especially when the non-nil requirement is preventing me from fetching certain blocks, e.g. block 22207815?
