Still, the reproductive system isn't directly connected to the digestive system, which is how the chestburster gets implanted, so I don't buy that she had a queen within herself. What if, by virtue of Shaw being a female, the uber-facehugger had the necessary DNA inside of itself to implant a queen, at which point the host's gender wouldn't matter?

That's why gender matters. In preceding films, we see Queens only come out of female hosts. What if either the facehugger fetus implanted a xeno before being removed, or like the others in the film the exposure to the black toxin turns Shaw herself into a xeno? With SHAW being female, there's the chance it's a queen. Facehuggers just implant xeno embryos. I think the determination of queen/warrior is by the host.

Also, I do not believe the creature at the end is necessarily a queen. I think the big deal was that there was a face hugger big enough to impregnate an Engineer, creating a new type of Alien we haven't seen before - the same type that wiped out the Engineer crew and the original "Space Jockey". It could be a queen, but I don't think that detail is as important as "look - bigger badder xenos for the next movie!"
