Hi Paul,
Unfortunately there is not a way today to build a multi-select text field that pulls its list of options via a formula query. In the case of formula multi-select text fields, those exist to allow formulas to be written to pull in a list of text options based on values in the record for display purposes but not for the purposes of making a list of options for a user to manually choose from. The formula fields just allow you to arrange the data from the formula to look like a multi select text entry for display and things like data import/export.
