That is not a problem.
Consider the anagram that Galileo sent to Kepler about the phases of Venus:
I think this was specific enough, if it was about the crescent of Venus. The problem with "animus ne ideas" is that it's very short, all permutations can be easily enumerated. If the result is specific (say, "JOHNDEESIGNATURE" "JOHNDEESIGNATUREONF57V"), it can be extracted, if it's not very specific (say, "HASASIANFRUITS"), it can be contested as not specific enough and retrofitted post-hoc, after someone else discovers Asian fruits in the MS. Of course, if no-one makes a contesting claim before you show the cards, then there is no difference if there was a protective anagram in the first place.
