Looking at 6.2.7.1 of C99, I'm seeing that the identifier is optional:

struct-or-union-specifier:
    struct-or-union identifier-opt { struct-declaration-list }
    struct-or-union identifier

struct-or-union:
    struct
    union

struct-declaration-list:
    struct-declaration
    struct-declaration-list struct-declaration

struct-declaration:
    specifier-qualifier-list struct-declarator-list ;

specifier-qualifier-list:
    type-specifier specifier-qualifier-list-opt
    type-qualifier specifier-qualifier-list-opt

I've been up and down searching, and cannot find any reference to anonymous unions being against the spec. The whole -opt suffix indicates that the thing, in this case identifier is optional according to 6.1.
