Building a new bathroom, plumber left the rough-in for the toilet with this closet flange like this. I don't know how to pour the concrete around this. Should I cut the flange out, pour, then come back and install the flange after tiling?

I always run 4" pipe up. And use a flush fitt flange that glues inside the 4 inch pipe after tiling.
Interesting, because while I always run the 4" pipe up, I NEVER use an "inside" flange, unless it is to repair an outside one which has deteriorated because of improper installation.
Did the plumber tell you that the flange was glued in place already?Building a new bathroom, plumber left the rough-in for the toilet with this closet flange like this.

I would try some tugging and rocking with one hand while countering the force on the elbow with the other.

I am hoping the plumber just plugged the fitting with the unglued flange for now. I don't know how tight a spigot toilet flange would be just pressed in, but I am suspecting it could be significant.
If you can see glue oozing out using a mirror, it was glued, but I suspect most glue jobs don't ooze enough to see in your situation. I am not a plumber, and I have never installed a closet flange.
If you pulled the test cap on that Proflow Push N’ Peel Closet Flange, and saw glue, then it is glued.I'll give what you're describing a try. I popped open the tab and thought I saw some glue resin on the diameter seams. Sounds like you're also suggesting this is not a common practice.
I get perfect flange height ever time this wayquote;

As does hj, as long as the floor is in place before he glues the flange.I get perfect flange height ever time this way
This is awkward, but...
