Even if you can specify a glow inside a union, it won't be part of that 
union. If you translate the union, the glow won't move, and copies of 
the union won't have the glow. However, I thought I had disabled glows 
inside unions to avoid this confusion...
I plan to eventually make glow an attribute of objects, like media, that 
will make the surface of the object glow. There will be a separate glow 
object (a real object, useable in unions) to do the point glows (and 
maybe other shapes: lines, circles, other geometric shapes, splines...).

Only by making a macro to create the object and glow.
