Of course her initial reaction is to say Jon would have a claim to the iron throne, she has obsessed over it her whole life and she has believed that she was the last Targ for a long time. But there was no chance for any follow up so who knows how she will really react, they didn't let it play out long enough. She did not look mad at that point, she looked confused.
And the aunt-nephew part probably wouldn't phase her much given that she's a Targ and they do brother-sister all the time, so it makes total sense that her first thought was that she no longer has the only/best claim to the throne. I don't really get why anyone would think her first thought would be the aunt-nephew thing, but I've read a lot of posts to that effect for some reason.

Well, her first reaction was to ask where he heard it, and then imply that the sources weren't trustworthy because they were both closely linked to Jon. I'm sure that eventually she'll put all the clues together - how the dragon initially reacted to him, the fact that he could ride the dragon solo, and the fact that Jon does not seek the throne, is also hopelessly honest to the point of being a ****ing idiot, and clearly isn't happy about what he knows. And once she accepts that, she'll know that he's the legitimate heir, not her.
However, she is a pure Targaryen who has lusted after the Iron Throne her entire life. Pretty much everybody she's met at Winterfell has been hostile, dismissive or merely tolerant of her (and the show has gone to great lengths to emphasize that), and that is certainly pissing her off.
She might turn on him. That would really suck, but as they say, love is love and business is business. And her business is being the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
