It would make sense if QB has some tools at his disposal to enforce the contracts. Otherwise the entire system of contracting MG to "fight witches" would be moot if he didn't have some control over the girls. So it might not be so arbitrary as to simply touching the soul gem to cause pain.

In episode 7, when Sayaka was lashing out at QB about the soul gems, he (to my understanding of Japanese) mentions that neither Mami nor Kyoko were aware of the true nature of the Soul Gems, and maybe the extent of QBs ability to cause cause pain. So in that respect to Kyoko or any of the girls there is no reason for them to be on their guard, being a cute mini-Mephistopheles that he is.

Get Homura off his back? Are you talking about her constant attempts to prevent Madoka from making a contract?
