I consider these two phrases to be synonyms also, so it's not just continental Europe. On the other hand, I know some people who use "imaginary number" to refer to what I would call a "purely imaginary number"; i.e., with real part equal to 0 (excluding the number 0 itself because it is not imaginary!).
