If you have something like a Deflate stream, there is a chance that the flipped bit will affect a symbol but change it into a symbol with the same length. Could do anything from changing a single byte in the output, to changing bytes in a bounded range, to corrupting the entire rest of the stream, or making it fail to decompress (not every deflate stream is valid, far from it).
