I think that she needs to tell you something but can't fidure out how to do it.
Next time, tell her that she's right, you are lying but she needs to tell you the truth as you can't see it.

I am loving all of these suggestions. I've been hoping that it will be a long, long, long time before I run into her again, but now I'm starting to look forward to using some of these suggested responses!

Sounds like this ^^ to me (if there is a purpose to her exchange) or she's simply psychotic and looking to test people for responses.
If you encounter again tease the response of 'her interpretation' out of her - I think it will be very humorous. Some people have strange desire to read things into others that can be very hilarious when prodded for an 'interpretation'.
The funny thing is with people like this the 'interpretation' will likely become more wacky if you avoid her or shun her altogether as she'll probably perceive even worse things.
A month or so ago, I was sitting behind a woman in church that I hadn't seen in quite some time. She turned around and we both smiled and said, "Hi" to each other. Then she said, "How are you?" I answered, "I'm fine! How are you doing?" She said, "I'm fine, but you're lying." "I'm lying?" I said. "Why do you think I'm lying?" "I can see it in your eyes," she said. "Well, sorry," I said, "but I really am fine."
Tonight I saw her again at a church social event. Again, when we saw each other, we both smiled. "How are you?" she said. "I'm fine," I answered. "How are you?" "I'm fine, but you're lying," she said -- again! I was so shocked that I just said, "You know, that's really getting old, and I'm sick of it," and then I walked off. What would possess a person to say such a thing -- twice? Was I out of line in reacting the way I did? My husband says she was probably just trying to get me to spill my guts and tell her all my problems. Then, she'd have some fodder for gossip or could use my response as a jumping off point for how much worse she has it than I do. The thing is, I'm really fine! Pissed off, but fine.
I'm answering before I read others' reactions. You're in the right here. This other person was really invading your privacy and/or personal space. If the person was either at the time or formerly a close friend, or had actual knowledge that there was a problem, it's OK to press a little to offer to help. But not where there's no basis for believing otherwise.

She was an acquaintance. I have known her for several years but we have never, even been close, and I have never confided anything in her. And if you think she sounds a little weird, you ought to meet her husband.

Marian: Hi! How are you?
Me: I'm doing well, thanks. How about you?
Marian: I'm fine, but you're lying.
Me: No, really. I'm fine. I may not be "perfect" but I definitely am fine.
Marian: See. I knew it. So what's wrong?
Me: Uh... Let's see. Well, this morning I was a little bit constipated. What else would you like to know?

How are you?
I am fine.
I can see that you're lying.
Actually, I was fine, until I started this conversation with you. Now **** off.
Really? Is it that hard?
