I can assure you that "amn't I" does exist, and it is used all the time in a few English dialects. It is not incorrect; in fact, it's a rational and justifiable choice. "Aren't I" seems irrational to me, in purely logical terms; if I were to say "I are", I would be regarded as being in the wrong.
Compare: I am, am I not? I am, amn't I?; I are, are I not? I are, aren't I?
