Really? I'm not aware of any codecs that can handle data corruption, except

Could you give an example?

bzip2.

You can loose blocks, but that only looses you a block, all blocks in
bzip2 are independent.

So you loose only a portion of compressed data.

For lzma, I think (not as sure as with bzip2) blocks exist just as
well, only in a different form.
