What is the purpose of the serration on these lug nuts?

It looks like they hold the washer in place.

Yup, the machining op can be called staking.

All a bit odd, but looks very much like some sort of mechanism to hold the washer in place and not allow the nut to lose the washer.

It's a pretty standard feature on lug nuts for alloy wheels. Yes, the washer spins. The washer isn't essential to prevent galling, but it probably helps.
