You're probably not employed, fullstop, and employment status appears to be irrelevant, anyway, rather PAYE status. The point is that, based on what we know about this scheme so far, "furloughed" means "does no work in relation to those PAYE payments". That is intended to avoid it being abused. We'll need to see the mechanics when they come out, but my strong impression is that a company director might not be eligible at all, assuming they're still satisfying their responsibilities. I am extrapolating, but I think my extrapolation is more likely closer to the reality than your hope.
