Encryption does not make bit flips obivous, authenticated encryption would.

A single bit flip would mess up the block, and hopefully the rest of the stream and the padding, no?

Most unauthenticated encryption modes only mess up a few bits of a block, sometimes the following block too. A few only flip the exact bit in the plaintext.
