This breaks if 2*r > p. Even if you choose r to be small during encryption, the r values accumulate with each homomorphic operation and will eventually be too big. The only restriction stated is that r is "from a different interval than the private key one". This should be made more clear.

As @tuxxy points out, there is a metaphor for describing this - a "noise ceiling". To see this phrase used in context, see, for example: https://eprint.iacr.org/2011/277.pdf
