It will be valid. 7.2 [dcl.enum] says:
6 For an enumeration where e_min is the smallest enumerator and e_max
is the largest, the values of the enumeration are the values of the
underlying type in the range b_min to b_max, where b_min and b_max
are, respectively, the smallest and largest values of the smallest
bit-field that can store e_min and e_max. It is possible to define
an enumeration that has values not defined by any of its enumerators.
AFAIK the intent of that paragraph is to make OR-ing enumerators
yield a defined enumeration value.
