with geth 1.0.1 in the JS console (via geth attach):

> eth.getTransactionReceipt('0x9d3f3e5b651c3b4472eca4cd57db6549d474a23af182c768d418bd9e278195b5')
{
  blockHash: '0x35803048a469e86a0e9df1641ddf84a237aad0b4c0702ee9b99e1035afc992f0',
  blockNumber: 47527,
  contractAddress: Error: Cannot access member 'constructor' of null,
  cumulativeGasUsed: 21000,
  gasUsed: 21000,
  logs: [ ],
  transactionHash: '0x9d3f3e5b651c3b4472eca4cd57db6549d474a23af182c768d418bd9e278195b5',
  transactionIndex: 0
}

I don't expect to see the error message contractAddress: Error: Cannot access member 'constructor' of null,, but probably null, 0x or something similar if no contractAddress is involved.

cmd/geth, jsre: restore command line editing on windows
0ef80bb 
PR #856 broke command line editing by wrapping stdout with a filter that
interprets ANSI escape sequences to fix colored printing on windows.
Implement the printer in Go instead so it can do its own
platform-dependent coloring.

As a nice side effect, the JS console is now noticeably more responsive
when printing results.

Fixes #1608
Fixes #1612

Seems fixed in 1.1.1

Remove 'Header' field from vm.Context. (ethereum#1612)
2ffd2ef 
This was added in PR ethereum#317 but was never set in `vm.NewEVMContext()`.  As a result, it was always nil.  After the refactoring of contract calls to use the vm.EVMRunner types, we now don't use it outside of eth/api_tracer.go.  And the use there is now broken because the field is nil: when tracing a transaction or block the `vmRunner` created for the contract calls will use the header and state from the current chain head rather than from the specified block.  This fixes that by removing the field and updating the tracing code to not use it either.
