Both of those views are problematic, and both were intended by that statement; the original language has been clarified.
Because we think, "One person, one identity," we get stuck at two extremes: I'm always one person, or I'm a continua of different people. Reality lies between the two, and does not fit comfortably with our intuitive understanding of personhood.
I agree that it is useful to group a casually related set of mind-moments under the label of "one person." I just don't think that this grouping of convenience makes those mind-moments the same. Each is a unique experience.
