When I bench, I spend a lot of time setting up with the shoulder blades pulled together.

The pain itself could be felt while doing all sorts of things. But the pain is simply the result of the problem. Like if you cut your foot on a piece of glass... it would hurt to walk, but it's not walking that was the source problem, it was the glass.
Even if you set up properly, you can lose the scapular positioning mid-lift. Especially with heavier weight.
Keep in mind that I'm only speculating as to the cause. The fact that you can do dips without pain is what made me wonder. Another possibility is that you go to parallel on the dips, not deep. This would mimick a floor press instead of a to-the-chest press, and thus would take stress off the shoulder.
