This isn't the first time I've run into this, but is there a way to do anything about such things other than rating/tagging? These have already been tagged as spam, but they sure look a bit shadier than benign "spam".

By the way, we are seeing a persistent pattern of "Reputation farming" by would-be spammers. They open multiple accounts and use the accounts to give the other accounts reputation points, in the hopes of getting the accounts "above a certain threshold", under the hypothesis that above some threshold or other, accounts are immune from being spam-checked, "hopefully" leaving the account able to spam without limits.

Not sure if you can report - maybe you can - but for us moderators you can click on the user's name twice to get to their Community Profile's page as shown in the screenshot below. Then click the Report link:
^^^^^^^^ Click Report
Someone at Mathworks (an actual live person) will look over the submission and take appropriate action.

Best is to report them to the FEX admin. I'll do that for the ones you have shown. If you see other sustpect ones, and you just want me to forward the profile ID to the admin, feel free to tell me, and I will.
