Yes, these will validate, however, no gradient will be visible yet.
Generally browser vendors will use their prefixes until a
specification reaches *at least* Last Call status. CSS Images Level 3,
the specification gradients are a part of, isn't quite there yet.

As the specification matures, the prefixes will be dropped and you'll
be able to use "linear-gradient". Vendor prefixes are being used to
warn developers that the syntax of the property may be changed,
meaning websites that rely on them might break.
