The impression I got from the "cs/se/stats" remark was it was the fusion of all three disciplines. A statistician can't sit down and pull data from a MySQL table, and certainly can't write a library to gather data on users on the site. As someone that's basically in this exact confluence point, I can tell you that there is very much interplay between the statistics and the software engineering and computer science disciplines.
