I think the Greek sentence could mean either (the person you are looking for) is not me or I am not myself (today).
The English counterpart sounds off to me.

Agreed. And the first one would not be "Λυπάμαι, δεν είναι εγώ."—as "sorry, it's not me" would in English?

I expect that in Greek, when somebody says to you Are you the person I am looking for? the proper answer would be δεν είμαι εγώ, even though the word-for-word translation into English is awkward.
Native speakers?

"Δεν είμαι εγώ" is the correct answer in that situation. "Δεν είναι εγώ" sounds wrong, however close to the EN one it is.
