I just rewatched the last scene in order to transcribe the exact dialogue (wording being important, see the true meaning of "a secret he'll take to his grave. It has been discovered").
C: Who is that? D: Never mind. Let's get back. C: Who is he? D: He's me. There is only me here, that's the point. Now let's get back! C: I never saw that one. I saw all of you. Eleven faces, all of them you. You're the eleventh Doctor. D: I said he was me. I never said he was the Doctor. C: I don't understand. D: My name. My real name. That is not the point! The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose - it's like a promise you make. He's the one who broke the promise. He is my secret. John Hurt: What I did, I did without choice. D: I know. JH: In the name of peace and sanity. D: But not in the name of the Doctor!
I have to say, that makes it sound unlikely to me Hurt!Doctor is a future regeneration and more likely that whenever he happened, it was already in the past as far as Eleventh's timeline is concerned.
