It is very possible during stamping operations of that "spear" a progressive stamping die is used to produce multiple parts off the same stock of material being fed through the press with different parts produced, resulting in as little scrap/waste as possible. Thus the "notch" is possibly another part being produced, or the edge of it. Not saying I know this is why the "notch" is there, but a very good possibility derived from my experience over the years with manufacturing operations. Just like sawing a board on an angle, if you flip the board over you already have a cut angle for the next piece resulting in zero loss of wood and less waste.
Again just a theory.
