 What is this architectural detail called?

:"Ugly detail" would work, but I'd prefer to call it an attempt to confuse contractors and destroy a house. If things aren't done just right, it's a leaker.
There's evidence of leakage at 4 of the 6 recessed dormers, and the owners have spent 6k so far fixing things. There's so many issues with them, I can't figure out what has been "fixed".
Thanks Scott.

Note to architect: If you come up with some detail that nobody else uses, it's not necessarily genius on your part. Chances are that it's actually an idea that others have dismissed, with good reason, as stupid.
