System contract does not deploy when initial transaction fails

[vistra]

Describe the bug

It appears that when the network receives a system contract transaction for the first time - if it fails, the smart contract is not (lazily) deployed, and subsequent query commands will fail (the contract deployment rolls back). It does deploy if the transaction succeeds.

Not sure if this is an intentional behaviour.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Launch gamma

2. Send the following throwing transaction (BenchmarkContract):
   {
   "ContractName": "BenchmarkContract",
   "MethodName": "throw",
   "Arguments": [
   ]
   }

3. Send the same transaction, but as a query.

Expected behavior

The first and second steps should fail in a similar fashion with ERR_SMART_CONTRACT,
but the second one (querying) fails with ERROR_CONTRACT_NOT_DEPLOYED.
