To be contrarian, I routinely work with UI designers who take wireframes (from an IA/IxD) and convert them to high fidelity comps (primarily in photoshop but sometimes in illustrator). They are thinking I need: 1) the whole page layout to be properly blocked and centered 2) whole ui to be consistent in feel, Rounded edges vrs square edges, particular fonts. Colors in the ui need to compliment or contrast sufficently with the the main video/game/etc. 3) themed inline with BrandX, BrandY, etc.
They are so immersed in the page by page metaphor,they often miss any interactivity at all, be it modal, or tabs, or preloading. Almost 100% of the time don't think about hover or disabled states...I frequently have to hound them to put them in. So in that sense they are a truly UI designer.
