eth_call returns insufficient funds in call-simple-transfer test

[Rjected]

Describe the bug

The rpc-compat test eth_call/call-simple-transfer returns insufficient funds:

>>  {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_call","params":[{"from":"0xaa00000000000000000000000000000000000000","gas":"0x186a0","to":"0x0100000000000000000000000000000000000000"},"latest"]}
<<  {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32003,"message":"Insufficient funds for gas * price + value"},"id":1}
response differs from expected:
 {
-  "error": {
-    "code": -32003,
-    "message": "Insufficient funds for gas * price + value"
-  },
   "id": 1,
   "jsonrpc": "2.0"
+  "result": "0x"
 }

@Rjected I wonder if this is also related to #1951 (comment)?

[Rjected]

@gakonst it is related, and fails from insufficient funds because of the same code path. After the HistoricalStateProvider fix, the test fails due to sender not an eoa
