It looks completely fine to me & should work.
I just tested
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="WindowsFolder" />
</Directory>
Which is fine & almost identical to your code.
The only thing I can think it could be is some formatting characters are
present in the Identifier but even that would show up in the error message. You
could try pasting the code into something like notepad then copying it back &
see if it fixes but I can't see anything wrong with what you pasted below.

Subject: [WiX-users] Illegal identifier Directory Id="WindowsFolder" ?
Hi I have a fragment where I define the directory structure as follows (I
re-use the components defined later in other .wxs):
<Fragment>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="WindowsFolder">
<Directory Id="Dir.HelpFolder" Name="Help" >
.
.
.
.
“For some reason which seem to grasp, I keep getting the Error
611 The Directory/@Id attribute's value, 'WindowsFolder', is not a legal
identifier. Identifiers may contain ASCII characters A-Z, a-z, digits,
underscores (_), or periods (.). Every identifier must begin with either a
letter or an underscore. “
What could be the issue here?
Thanks,
Akshat
