It's possible that I'm not seeing something in the picture that you know is there. The extra widening on the ends of the spokes would seem to be helpful only in the normal direction of travel of the wheel. To be stronger in the sideways direction, the spoke would need to be thicker where it meets the hub.

(It's also possible that I don't know what I'm talking about, as I'm more attuned to software than hardware, but I think a couple of seasons of kit wheels from AndyMark did a good job of showing how side load stresses need to be dealt with.)
