I am my own enemy — okay that part checks out, at least partially — but that enemy is also the enemy of her(my)self, making me my own ally. So perhaps the steelman is "I am both my enemy and my ally" but this is a weird way to express that thought

I think people parse the statement without reading it. There is a saying they know, one of the input variables is changed, and the most logical interpretation given context if you don't look at the text is him saying he is his own enemy.
