Transactions are not processed after debug_setHead

[ferranbt]

System information

Geth version: 1.9.3-unstable-22fdbee8-20190822
OS & Version: Ubuntu

Expected behaviour

During dev mode, after debug_setHead I should be able to send more transactions.

Actual behaviour

During dev mode, after debug_setHead I can send transactions but the call to eth_getTransactionsReceipt returns always "not found". There does not seem to be any block mined.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

https://gist.github.com/ferranbt/4ab9730cf764eab0b44bae27cfc3b755

This gist reproduces the reported behavior. I send two transactions that create two new blocks, after that, I reset the blockchain with debug_setHead to the block number 1. Then, I send another transaction, it returns a hash but the transactions receipt returns always "not found".

This is the code I use to run geth in dev mode:

geth --dev --rpc --rpcapi eth,debug

I am having a similar issue where I run deubg_setHead and everything seems fine... Nonce values for accounts seem correct, etc.... but then I try to make a new transaction and I get Nonce too low

I'm struggling with the same issue. Looks like I don't understand how geth works. I found that eth_getTransactionCount returns different value for latest and pending block after deubg_setHead called.
