I've also run across the same question in brainstorms, interviews, studio talk, twitter, and from clients in the past year or so. I don't know the exact answer but I find they run quite close or even parallel within a UX environment.
In my experience Interaction Design crosses with the research, business, visual and technical stream. They focus more on the users - how'll they will interact with the design, flows, early sketching, early prototyping. Interactive Designers do pretty much the same thing with more focus on the prototyping and design 'build'. Possibly after early draft sketching and into the flash, css, installations, etc.. Am I close? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and experiences. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
