This does not change the resulting logic and is just validating transaction.chainId to account for that isHexString does not accept arbitrary input.

I am not sure if it is correct and intended that this should evaluate to true when transaction.chainId is undefined (or otherwise not sane to pass to toHex), or if explicit handling for that should actually be added.
