[Bug] Provider keeps spamming node after TX confirmed

Describe the bug

I noticed my RPC provider getting spammed with eth_blockNumber and eth_getBlockByNumber calls after sending a tx. In my use case I am not even watching pending transactions, but still it starts to spam and doesn't stop unless I restart all over.

Here is a quick reproduction video and a repository. The repo uses 0.3.6, but I tested also with 0.2.1 and 0.1.4 and all behave the same. In this scenario I am watching and confirming that the transaction went through.
