Sometimes silent failure when not initialized with EthQuery

Issue Type

• Bug (https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-contract/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports)
• Feature (https://github.com/ethjs/ethjs-contract/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#feature-requests)

Description

I was revamping the test suite for ethjs-ens to use a testrpc and deploy its own ens on it, and was stuck on a silent failure for longer than I care to admit.

This line shows me trying to deploy a contract from an instance that never had an EthQuery object.

It wasn't until I deployed with web3 instead and then instantiated a contract object that I got the EthQuery error passed to me.

Steps to reproduce

You could pull down that repo branch and run npm i && node test on it, but really just an earlier validation should do.

Versions

• Node/NPM: 6.3.1

Hmm, I'll need more information to debug.
