Bug

**What is the current behavior?**

`isPending` is never set to true when calling `startTransition` within `useEffect`, but it *does* work properly when within a `useLayoutEffect`.

Here's the correct behavior (accomplished via `useLayoutEffect`):

Here's the incorrect behavior (via `useEffect`):

![bad](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1500684/68164540-4c8c3380-ff1a-11e9-9191-d9c87ddecbed.gif)

Note the difference is that the opacity never changes to 0.4 (which is determined based on the `isPending` state).

**What is the expected behavior?**

I expect them to both behave the same (at least as far as the user can observe).

**Which versions of React, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of React?**

- react@0.0.0-experimental-f6b8d31a7
- react-dom@0.0.0-experimental-f6b8d31a7
