The DocBook DTD most certainly permits id on glossentry.
When I put the ID in glossentry in your example, the anchor is
generated and the link works. It should also work with the
id on glossterm, I think, so that is probably a bug
in the stylesheet.
What kind of error message do you get when you put an id on
glossentry?
