In most corporate cultures not only is documentation not rewarded, problems caused by a lack of or poor quality documentation are usually not recognized.

It's worse than that - if you don't properly document stuff, you are that awesome guy who can help everybody. Sometimes I have the impression that some people to (semi-)intentionally create tons of already-out-of-date and misleading "documentation" to create the illusion that they did their job, but that's just the natural state of documentation is - hopelessly out-of date.
