That experimental result was (?) obtained with the interruption of the
primary current at a maximum, not a notch (using a rotaty spark gap).
The 
abrupt rise in the secondary voltage was probably an induction coil
effect,
with most of the energy in the primary circuit being transferred
immediately
to the secondary circuit when the primary current was interrupted.
Or maybe more probably a bad contact in the oscilloscope attenuator
corrected 
itself during the measure...
