Yes, I've noticed it and commented about it on this list several months ago.
It does appear Johnny is not thrilled about signing the contract and I think Michael is gently bullying him...especially by referring to The Don. Johnny knows he owes a great debt to his Godfather and to even THINK about refusing or even putting up resistance.
The whole exchange is very clever in it's underlying tone, in my opinion. Johnny knows he is not doing this for Michael...but for Don Vito and the Family.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
