Dips for lats?

Well lats are employed during pressing movements, and yes I'd say they're at least active during dips. Maybe they are already tired from a back workout earlier. It's totally acceptable that high rep work would see them pump up, and super heavy might (might) mean your body employed them without you thinking about it just to get the weight moved.

Possibly acting as stabiliser muscles....I find I feel my chest getting a pump when Im doing seated rows for back?!....go figure

No, but bench pressing does. If your going heavy your lats should fire as you press the weight. I occasionally get sore lats after a heavy (by my standards) bench session.
