But seriously, it is a bit odd. You'd expect to find either the wreckage or the man in the neighbourhood of the jacket.
There might be. There was a late report on local news that they might have spotted wreckage and were going to take a closer look tomorrow. This is still very preliminary (might not be wreckage, might not be his), but google search turned up this:

Search teams combing a rugged part of eastern California for any sign of Steve Fossett, the adventurer who vanished on a solo flight more than a year ago, have spotted what appeared to be wreckage Wednesday, authorities said.

Erica Stuart, spokeswoman for the Madera County Sheriff's Office, would not reveal the exact location of the reported aerial sighting, which she said was called in around sunset.[snip]
