Yes.

Let V be such a union, and assume that I and J are two ideals,
such that IJ is a subset of V but I is not a subset of V.

Fix some i in I\V.
Then for every j in J there is some prime ideal P_j in the chain
with ij in P_j, and hence j in P_j subset V.

Therefore J is a subset of V.

My previous remarks about using the "usual proof" from the commutative
situation (using elements instead of ideals) were just wrong;
This would only work for "complete prime" ideals.
