"Ich bin ein Berliner" means "I am a Berliner" as much as "Ich bin Berliner" does. In fact, as Kennedy was speaking figuratively, "Ich bin Berliner" would have been the incorrect thing to say. It's an ancient urban legend that he said something wrong.

My sources? Wikipedia, and my German housemate.

My sources are a UCLA German professor and my own understanding of German grammar.

Ein applies to objects, not to humans, hence ein Berliner has different connotations than simply Berliner. And if you are going to say "I am one of you (figuratively)" than it is much better to state that instead of clumsily making a statement that barely functions.
