Four out of my five GE-link bulbs are on a circuit controlled by a dimmer switch. I had some problem pairing some of them. The only issue I've noticed is that when I dim them(via Wink), I see a noticeable flicker.
So it worked for you, interesting. I have a Lutron in-wall dimmer, not sure the model but no remote control ability. I wish there were some way to get basic on/off functionality working with these GE bulbs as all my lights are on dimmers except for one.
