According to Jochen's description on the webpage a spike is a line which returns 
in itself. In the case you are asking for this line has zero length. There are 
three nodes in the way for this house which are at the same position. This can 
be visualized in JOSM using its built-in validator which detects duplicate nodes:


The house in the upper left of these nodes has the additional problem that it 
contains one of the twice, hence the zero-length spike:



I don't think that you can detect something like this in iD. But you can clearly 
see the ones with non-vanishing spikes (like 
http://maproulette.org/map/2499/2187301) in iD.

If you use iD my suggestion is to skip those without visible spikes and leave 
them to JOSM users.

Best Regards
