Assume my prime generation is as follows:
Pick a number $p$ between 1000 and 9999. $p=abcd$.
Make sure $p$ is prime
Construct $q$ such by taking the last 2 digits of $p$ and the first 2 digits of $p$, i.e. $q=cdab$
Make sure $q$ is prime.
Is the resulting $n = pq$ more easily factorable?
My gut feeling says yes but I can't see why? I thought about Coppersmith but in this case, we don't have any common bit between $p$ and $q$ that are also at the same place. Is there a weakness?

Of course, any product of two 4-digit primes is trivially factorable by trial division anyway, since there are only 1061 primes between 1000 and 9999. Add in the digit reversal requirement, and there are only 76(!) possible pairs to consider.

You don't need anything fancy like Coppersmith, just simple algebra. The idea is to translate the equations we have involving the digits of $p$ and $q$ in base $B$ ($B = 100$ in your example) into equations involving the digits of $n$ in base $B$, which we know. You have $p = x B + y$ and $q = y B + x$, with $0 lt x, y lt B$. Then $n = x y B^2 + (x^2 + y^2) B + x y$.
The rightmost digit of $n$ in base $B$ is $(x y) bmod B$. Since $x,y le B-1$, $(x^2 + y^2) B + x y le 2 (B-1)^2 B + (B-1)^2 lt 2 (B-1)^2 (B+1) = 2 (B-1) (B^2-1) lt 2 B^3$. Hence the $B^3$ digit of $n$ is the $B$ digit of $x y$ plus $z$ where $0 le z lt 2$, i.e. $z in 0, 1$. So by reading the digits of $n$ in base $B$, we get the digits of $x y$ in base $B$, up to two possibilities, giving just two possibilities for $x y$ itself: $x y in W_0, W_1$.
Injecting this knowledge into the equation above gives us $x^2 + y^2 = (n - W_z (B^2 + 1)) / B$. And of course knowing both $x^2 + y^2$ and $x y$ gives $x$ and $y$.

Here's how to recover $x, y$ in a way that's easier than factoring $n$ (I'll use the notation $x, y$ rather than your notation $ab, cd$):
We have $n = xyB^2 + (x^2+y^2)B + xy$
First, compute $n bmod B$, that gives you $xy bmod B$
Then, compute $lfloor (n - B^2(xy bmod B)) / B^3 rfloor$; this gives you $xy / B + epsilon$, where $0 le epsilon le 2$
Pasting those two together will give you a total of three possibilities of $xy$.
Then, for each possibility, compute $(n - xyB^2 - xy) / B + 2xy$ and $(n - xyB^2 - xy) / B - 2xy$; if the guess of $epsilon$ is correct, these will be $(x+y)^2$ and $(x-y)^2$; take squareroots, and extract $x, y$ directly.
(Thanks for Giles for pointing out this last part)

Yeah, right, the $B^3$ digit of $n$ gives the other digit of $x y$. And there's no need to factor anything: once you know $x y$, you know $x^2 + y^2$.

$(n - B^2(xy bmod B)) / B^3 = lfloor(xy/B) rfloor + x^2 / B^2 + y^2 / B^2 + xy / B^3$; we know that $x^2 / B^2, y^2 / B^2, xy / B^3$ are all less than 1 (and $ge 0$), and so the sum must be in the interval $[0, 3)$, that is, two or less once you round down...

I don't get this part: Then, compute $⌊(n−B^2(xymod B))/B^3⌋$ this gives you $xy/B+ϵ$, where $0≤ϵ≤2$. I have $xymod B$ but not $xy$?

$(n - B^2(xy bmod B)) / B^3 = lfloor(xy/B) rfloor + x^2 / B^2 + y^2 / B^2 + xy / B^3$; we know that $x^2 / B^2, y^2 / B^2, xy / B^3$ are all less than 1 (and $ge 0$), and so the sum must be in the interval $[0, 3)$, that is, two or less once you round down...

Yeah, right, the $B^3$ digit of $n$ gives the other digit of $x y$. And there's no need to factor anything: once you know $x y$, you know $x^2 + y^2$.

I noticed that there is no "check if $p$ is prime" or "check if $q$ is prime" listed anywhere in these steps (particularly after step 2). Are we to assume that this check is not done?

Of course, any product of two 4-digit primes is trivially factorable by trial division anyway, since there are only 1061 primes between 1000 and 9999. Add in the digit reversal requirement, and there are only 76(!) possible pairs to consider.
