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!"

I'm against the "facehugger planting a xeno" theory because it was still all cocooned in its amniotic sac with Shaw had it removed; I'm assuming immaturity of the fetus (and if that fetus also received genetic information from Shaw and Holloway, then it'd be taking cues from human DNA and that would make a little more sense). Shaw becoming a xeno makes sense because she wasn't directly in contact with the black liquid (that I can remember), but having the fetus grow inside of her might mean she's still contaminated, but it's progressing more slowly. That would offer another explanation for her continual pains aside from the aforementioned "just got out of surgery, no rest and recuperation, etc."

The final xenomorph bit could also be true, Scott and Lindelof both said that they left plenty of loose ends to tie up if there was ever a sequel (but tied up enough that the film could stand on its own).
