According to a post by Killap (page 32 at the RP 1.2 thread; I copied the most important of it at the end of this post), Vic has a chance to level up at level 5. I am using the latest Unofficial Fallout Patch and I got Vic right before I got level 5, after that I told the slaves (at Metzger) they are free and I leveled up to level 5, but Vic didn't. I tried it about 10 times or so, he didn't leveled.
My character is stupid, I used char editor to raise my IN by 1 (just to get Vic, since it's kinda bugged and he doesn't gets in my party, though he says he joins me, no idea why - maybe a bug by the unofficial patch), got Vic and got my IN back to its normal just after that.
I can provide a savegame with my char - I am level 4 and need little xp to get level 5, I have Vic in my party and the slaves are near me (so you can just tell them free for enough xp). I tried leveling him by getting this xp in combat (by killing off the remaining slavers outside), but it still didn't worked. Please help.
What Killap said about NPC leveling:
Myron:
Player must be at least level 6 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
Marcus:
Player must be at least level 12 to begin leveling
Will level up every 3 player levels
Cassidy:
Player must be at least level 10 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
Sulik:
Player must be at least level 6 to begin leveling
Will level up every 3 player levels
Lenny
Player must be at least level 10 to begin leveling
Will level up every 5 player levels
Cyberdog:
Player must be at least level 9 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
Goris:
Player must be at least level 10 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
Vic:
Player must be at least level 5 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
Skynet:
Player must be at least level 10 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
Dogmeat:
Player must be at least level 6 to begin leveling
Will level up every 3 player levels
K-9:
Player must be at least level 12 to begin leveling
Will level up every 4 player levels
He said that about the RP with the removal of the random element at NPC leveling, I am not sure it's valid for the unofficial patch too. Or maybe he made a mistake with Vic. Or NPCs don't level for stupid character. Or everything is regular, just my game is bugged (due to PC, OS, F2 installation or something like that).
Edit: It's very important to know under what exactly conditions do NPCs level for powerplaying.
